Notre Dame Academy held its annual gala/fundraising event March 25 at Fairbanks Ranch Country Club in Rancho Santa Fe. The theme of the event was “One Family Growing Together” which is why Notre Dame Academy invited the heads of school from local Catholic high schools, such as Cathedral Catholic, St. Augustine and Academy of Our Lady of Peace.

The event also honored Father Nicholas Dempsey from St. Therese of Carmel Catholic Church who is retiring from the church on July 1.
